Applying Theory In The Workplace

As a chartered organisational psychologist, I have over 16 years' experience studying and applying the concepts of human psychology and emotional intelligence at work. My approach blends rigorous academic research with effective real-world practise.

I have worked as a development consultant for some of the best organisations in the world, both large and small. My motivation is in helping people and organisations realise their potential for greater success. A variety of projects undertaken include:

- design & delivery of training and development programmes
- executive development and coaching
- team-working and problem-solving
- design & delivery of corporate change programmes

Success in organisations is directly related to how people behave intrapersonally and interpersonally. Authentic development and change begin with understanding ourselves as human beings, and how we relate with our immediate world.

Teaching as a senior lecturer in the psychology department of the University of Hertfordshire. I teach a Masters programme as well as undertake research in Organisational Psychology. I have presented my research findings at a number of conferences and published a number of articles.

I am a member of the EI Consortium a unique body of international researchers dedicated to the research and application of Emotional Intelligence in organisations. I am also Chief Psychologist with ConsultingTools, a company that develops and markets leading-edge psychometric tools for use in organisational development.
